End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller released the following statement in reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) v. Jarkesy:
“Today, corporate special interests won as the Supreme Court gutted federal agencies’ ability to hold bad actors accountable. This exacerbates the rigged system where corporations and the wealthy elite follow a different set of rules—one that unfairly benefits them at the expense of the American people.
“Yet again, the captured Supreme Court and its conservative majority is putting the interests of billionaires and a conservative agenda ahead of the law and the well-being of hard-working Americans. It plays into a larger scheme of corporations looking to sabotage and strip power from the federal agencies that protect us. This decision is a boon for corporate bad actors and the wealthy elite.”
